replying to u/CasinoMagic: Uva has very good pasta. Do they still do the beet gnocchi with gorgonzola? I haven't been in years (too hard to get a table these days)

in:Taking Daughter to Broadway this weekend, requesting food suggestions3 pts
replying to u/Worldly-Salad-3027: If you want pizza walkable from the hotel and near Broadway, Emmy Squared is great and has vegan/vegetarian options I believe (though it's more Detroit style than NY but so good!). Rubirosa has good NY style pizza as well plus a full menu with other Italian options. For a sweet treat: \-Cloudy Donuts (some of the best donuts I've ever had and entirely vegan but you'd never know!), Supermoon Bakehouse, Anita Gelato on the UES, Librae Bakery, Cafe Panna...  For an actual sit down meal can't recommend Thai Diner enough!
“full kitchen open until 1am and everything is so great!”

replying to u/Comfortable-Power-71: Eyval and Place des Fêtes were my top meals in 2022. Lillia and Misi are always solid but I live nearby and might feel differently if I had to book 30 days out. Tanoshi Sushi is maybe the best bang for your sushi buck in the city. Van Da remains solid a few years after opening. Uva (UES) is strong AND is open late. Le Crocodille is tight, particularly the mushroom Pâté. La Vara, Saint Julivert, and Txikito (same owners) always work for date night.
“Uva has very good pasta.”
